sorry, vorbis support in LAME is deprecated.
what's with that? are they just being awkward?
well, lame ain't an mp3 encoder, and it sure as hell ain't an ogg vorbis
encoder, either. no harm in focusing on not doing what you don't do best.
what's wrong with oggenc?
Uhm, lame IS an mp3 encoder, that's the only thing it is,
but it's not a vorbis decoder.
Deprecated usually means it will still work, but you should start
looking for another way to decode vorbis files.
I don't know why they chose to remove vorbis decoding capabilities but I
wonder why it was there in the first place.
